*As long as the popcorn ceiling exists and the crown molding does not, these rooms will never be finished in my mind. But my handlers have told me to draw the line somewhere.

That means that today, for a limited time only (or for however long the internet lasts, because why would I ever voluntarily take this post down?), today you can get not one, but TWO BIG REVEALS! That’s two, two, TWO for the price of ONE!

Get ready for a post full of the most perfectly Pinterest-y pictures I could manage! Ladies and Gentlemen…I present to you…the greatest rock and roll-inspired music room in the history of cheap DIY makeovers (if only because the competition is pretty minimal)…THE BOOM BOOM ROOM!!!

Imagine this, if you will: Chris is outside, mowing the lawn, wearing earbuds, minding his own business, just doin’ chores and listenin’ to tunes. Suddenly, I come running out of the house and scare the crap out of him because he’s totally not expecting to see me outside of the house in my pajamas at 2 in the afternoon.

“Hey, Craigslist Master! I need you to find something for me.”

Chris: (removes his earbuds and shuts down the lawn mower in a patient and not-at-all annoyed manner, as if to say, “Go on.”)

Me: “I need you to find me a bunch of cheap microphones.”

Chris: “Okay………..I’m kind of busy…”

Me: “I don’t need them right now. I’m just telling you now, before I forget. There’s plenty of time. I just know it takes time to find good deals on stuff. So, you know…keep your eyes open.”

Chris: “Okay…………Like, how many is ‘a bunch’ Like, 5 or 6?”

Me: “I don’t know, as many as you can find? Like, 20? Maybe more?”

Chris: (gives me a look that I will interpret here as, “20 microphones? You think it’s that easy to find 20 microphones just lying around?”)

Me: “If it makes it easier, they don’t have to all look the same. Because I’m going to spray paint them all. Gold. Also, they don’t actually have to be working microphones. They just have to look like microphones. Like microphone skeletons, that’s all I really need.”

Chris: (I have to give him credit, he held off asking this for waaaay longer than I thought he would) “WHY?”

You know, this may surprise some of you, but when you tell people that you are going to paint a carpet, the most common reaction is a mixture of doubt and disbelief, with a little bit of “I’m not sure I heard that correctly” thrown in for good measure.

Of course, there are some of you that would be like, “Of COURSE you’re going to paint the carpet! Because it will look TOTALLY RAD!!”

You people — the people who think that — you get it. You are my people. Because it looks totally freakin’ rad.
